I've also posted this in the touring forum but really I'll be using my bike to commute to work and as transportation while in Rome.

I should have posted this earlier but I'm hoping to garner some quick suggestions about cycling in Rome and Lisbon. I will be working in Rome (rehearsing a play) for 1 1/2 weeks then off to Lisbon to perform. Any suggestions on riding in Rome. I've been to Italy a few times but never biked in Rome- I'm a very experienced urban cyclist (just spent a month living and riding in NYC and commute daily in the Boston area) but admit to finding Rome very intimidating. Lots of scooters and motorbikes but I've never noticed that many bicycles. I'm bringing a folder so I can pop it on subways and trains.

Any experiences or suggestions are welcome.
